Meet Rubble, a cat from Exeter, England, that is now being called the ‘oldest cat in the world’ after recently celebrating his birthday. Rubble and his owner, Michele Foster, have been the very best of friends since she got him as a kitten on her 20th birthday, back in May 1988.

Rubble had a party at his local vets where he was treated to some of his favorite cat food and a free check-up.

“He is on medication for his blood pressure but apart from that, he is in remarkably good health”

He is quite likely to be the oldest cat in the world and is still going strong.
Happy 30th birthday Rubble!
